About this course

Sailfish Sands Golf Course sits in Stuart, Florida, a coastal community on the Treasure Coast between West Palm Beach and Fort Pierce. The facility features two eighteen-hole layouts designed by Ron Garl, a Florida-based architect known for his work throughout the state since the 1970s. Garl's designs typically emphasize playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating the natural characteristics of Florida terrain, including sandy soils, native vegetation, and water management features that serve both strategic and environmental purposes. The Sailfish 18 routing reflects the flat topography common to this region of Florida's Atlantic coast. Players encounter the water hazards, bunkers, and open spaces characteristic of Garl's approach to golf course design in this setting. The course operates as a public facility, serving both local residents and visitors to the Stuart area. Florida's climate allows for year-round play, with Bermuda grass varieties typically used for fairways and greens in this part of the state. Stuart's location along the Intracoastal Waterway and its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean give the area a maritime character, though the course itself sits inland from the immediate shoreline. The facility caters to a range of golfers seeking accessible daily-fee golf in Martin County, an area that has seen residential and golf development expand over recent decades while maintaining connections to its fishing and coastal heritage.

Getting there

Most arrivals to Sailfish Sands Golf Course route through Palm Beach International Airport, roughly forty minutes south along the Florida Turnpike and Interstate 95 corridor. Private aviation often favors Witham Field in Stuart itself, a quick ten-minute drive from the course and a preferred gateway for those seeking discretion and efficiency. The final stretch trades coastal sprawl for the quieter rhythm of Martin County's Treasure Coast, where the road narrows and the air takes on the salt-tinged stillness that defines this stretch of Old Florida - a fitting transition to one of the region's more understated golfing retreats.
